Summer League #2: Currabinny Wood TUESDAY MAY 17th Event Info

The second event in the CorkO Summer League will take place on TUESDAY MAY 17TH at Currabinny Wood, Ringaskiddy.

We
had a great crowd in Fota on Tuesday evening despite the horrid weather and we'd highly recommend a
visit to Currabinny Wood. This wood is located on a prominent hill on a
peninsula overlooking Cork Harbour. The hillock slopes down to the sea
on three sides. Legend has it that it's name commemorates a giant,
Binne, whose burial chamber surmounts the hill (‘Corra’) to this day.
This "Giant's grave" and an octagonal gazebo tea house are just two of
the distinctive features on offer in this wood.

It is sure to
present new and interesting orienteering challenges to all who partake.
Just a reminder that you need to attend 6 events to receive a league
finishers t-shirt....so why not get them in early!

************PARKINGThe
wood is always popular with the locals in the area and the car park
isn't huge so we would encourage you to car pool if you can. When
parking please adhere to the directions of our parking marshals and give
some consideration for others who may wish to enter/exit the wood while
you are on your run.

*************WARNINGIn previous years the midge population made their presence known in Currabinny Wood.
So if you have insect repellent it would be advisable to throw it into
the car just in case they are back again this year.

I hope you've
taken some time to analyse the results and splits from our last event
and have pinpointed decisions were you lost valuable seconds/minutes
over fellow competitors. If so, you may have also identified an
orienteering rival you wish to reel in at Currabinny this week.
